It's hard especially if you were close. Give it some time. My grandmother has been dead now for 3 years and I still can't cope with it.

Let me first say I'm really sorry for your loss. You and your grandmother must have been very close.
Death is never easy and it's always the hardest to be the one left behind. A lot of times we have questions that no one can seem to answer. There is no easy way to get over the death of someone that you loved very much.
The first thing you can do though is focus on how much she loved you back, and how much she wanted for your life. Is there anything that she encouraged you to do, like participate in a play, or make a new friend? Grandmothers are usually very wise and when they encourage you to do something they usually have something great in mind for you.
Maybe start by doing something honorable or helpful that you know she would have liked you to do. Focus on helping someone and honor your grandmother with it.
Sometimes it can help to write your Grandmother a long letter, telling her everything that you have ever wanted to share with her. Or start writing stories about your grandmother about things that made her so special.
You could visit a nursing home and spend time with people that don't have anybody at all to come visit them and care for them like you did your grandmother. You know she would love that.
The point is, when you love someone that much, what caused you to love that person doesn't die with them. It's still in you. Take that and spread it around to other people.
Good luck dear!

I am sure grandmother, left you lots of memories, that is what you draw on, Thank God for the time, that you had with her. you know what she expects from you, let her know she taught you well! A good healing tool, is to make a scrap book, all about her, this is something that when you are feeling down, you can bring it out, and think of all the things, she said, or the things you and her did. And at holidays, it will be good to bring it out to share with the family!

Cry the whole day then go see her site. Talk to her and then after that let her rest. Think about the good things she did while she was here. Its normal to feel that way but you have to let her rest. Shes in a better place.

Hunny it will take time. Don't push your self and know that talking about it helps. I lost my grandpa 18 months ago and I still cry when his birthday comes around or any time that we would have been together. My heart goes out to you.

Just think, was she suffering? If she was in pain she probly wanted it to go away. She's not dead, but more alive than ever!
Her body is not moving, but her spirit is soaring!
Don't feel bad. She loves you. God loves you. I will be praying for you in this time of sorrow.
God bless you and your family in this time.
Your Sis in Christ,
AJ
